Event overview
OuterEdge Events stages two trail races around Dartmoor in early October 2026, based at the OCRA Pavilion in Okehampton. The main event, the Dartmoor Full Circle, follows the waymarked Dartmoor Way walking route and was planned as a circumnavigation of the Moor. The event is run as a continuous, non-stop 100-mile race with six indoor, manned checkpoints. The Dartmoor Granite 50 follows the eastern section of the Dartmoor Way and finishes in Okehampton.
- 100-mile Full Circle
- 51-mile Granite 50
Course, support and entry requirements
The Full Circle route skirts the periphery of the northern and southern moor, using tracks, woodland and riverside trails, green lanes and quiet country lanes. Organisers note over 4000 m of ascent for the 100-mile route and over 2000 m of ascent for the 51-mile race. Six indoor checkpoints are listed for the Full Circle at Peter Tavy (15.5 miles), Yelverton (30 miles), Cornwood (42 miles), Buckfast (64 miles), Manaton (82 miles) and Chagford (95 miles). Checkpoints are generally village or church halls offering hot food and refreshments.
Both races are supported with GPS tracking and GPX files. The event provides medical support, indoor checkpoints, changing and shower facilities and weekend parking at the event centre. Competitors must carry compulsory kit including waterproof jacket and over-trousers, headtorch with spare batteries, minimum 1 litre fluid capacity, emergency food (minimum 500 calories), emergency foil blanket, spare layer, gloves, warm hat or buff, plastic cup, mobile phone and a backpack. Entry standards require prior qualifying performances: the 100-mile entry requires a prior 50-mile finish within the stated qualifying period; the 51-mile entry requires a recent trail marathon.
